It combines, in a short form, the basic elements of a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) and a Field Sampling Plan (FSP). Once prepared and approved it will meet the requirements for any U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 9 Brownfields project in which environmental measurements are to be taken.\nThe format is designed to accommodate projects of limited scope and presumes that the work will be going to a laboratory whose analytical services are not funded directly by EPA. This might include, but not be limited to, a private or commercial laboratory, a state laboratory, an in-house laboratory or any other laboratory under contract to the organization writing the SAP. It is intended to be used for projects generating a limited number of samples to be collected over a relatively short time. This template is not intended to be used for on-going monitoring events, or for remediation or removal activities. Exceptions to these requirements will be considered on a case-by-case basis, but they should be discussed with Region 9 QA Section staff before the template is used and before the SAP is submitted for approval. This template may be used by state, municipal and local agencies, contractor, non-profit organizations, and by EPA staff.\nThis guidance - template provides item-by-item instructions for each section of a SAP. If the sections are appropriate for the project, they may be used verbatim, or modified as needed to reflect project- and sampling-specific requirements. Not all sections will apply to every organization or to every  project.\nSome sections, such as those describing sampling procedures, contain example language which may be used with or without modification. If these procedures do not meet project needs, the organization may substitute a specific description of sampling procedures or provide copies of the sampling standard operation procedures (SOPs). Other alternatives should be discussed with QA Section staff.\nAn electronic version of the template is available and may be used to prepare the SAP. The format of the template is as follows:\nThe two types of shaded text are to be deleted from the final SAP:\nTutorial information presented in italic type. This information includes definitions and background information pertaining to a given section of the SAP.\nSpecific instructions given inside brackets [in normal type].\nSuggested text which may be included in the SAP is presented in normal type. This text can be used, modified, or deleted depending on the nature of the project. For example, if only groundwater will be sampled, delete the discussion of sampling other matrices. If more than one option is presented, pick the appropriate one and delete the others.\nIf the use of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is appropriate, the SOP should be included as an appendix to the final SAP and referenced in the appropriate section.\nAn underlined blank area [ ___________ ] indicates that text should be added. Examples or choices may be provided in [brackets] following the blank. If appropriate, select one and delete the others. The underlining should be deleted.\nIf a given section does not apply, it is recommended that the section state “Not applicable” or “Does not apply” under the section heading. By including the section, the writer avoids having to renumber sections. However, sections can be removed altogether and the remaining sections renumbered.\nExample forms are located in Attachment 1. They should be deleted and organization appropriate ones included in the final SAP.\nThe U.S. EPA ","cbCaigxtDhvTuRWy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigxtDhvTuRWy","docx",318390,111,"English","# Introduction\n# Site History\n# Site Name or Sampling Area\n# Site or Sampling Area Location\n# Responsible Agency\n# Project Organization\n# Background\n# Site or Sampling Area Description\n# Operational History\n# Previous Investigations/Regulatory Involvement\n# Scoping Meeting\n# Geological/Meteorological Information\n# Impact on Human Health and/or the Environmental\n# Project and Data Quality Objectives\n# Project Task and Problem Definition\n# Data Quality","[{\"question\":\"What projects is this Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) guidance intended for?\",\"answer\":\"It is intended for Brownfields Assessment projects that collect water, soil, sediment, or other samples to characterize potential environmental contamination, typically on a limited scope and over a relatively short time period.\"},{\"question\":\"How does this SAP template relate to a QAPP and an FSP?\",\"answer\":\"The template combines the basic elements of a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) and a Field Sampling Plan (FSP) so that, once prepared and approved, it can meet EPA Region 9 Brownfields requirements for projects requiring environmental measurements.\"},{\"question\":\"When should the template not be used?\",\"answer\":\"It is not intended for ongoing monitoring events, or for remediation or removal activities.
